Dr. Zhang Heyang
Children who are picky eaters and suffer from iron-deficiency anemia can be treated directly with iron supplements, such as ferrous gluconate or ferrous dextran tablets. Additionally, taking vitamin C effervescent tablets can help increase vitamin C levels in the body, thereby enhancing iron absorption. Regarding picky eating, dietary structure can be optimized by selecting iron-rich foods that the child likes, or by making meals more fun and appealing to encourage better intake.
